Chapter 1417

Forrest nodded gently.

Shaun’s eyes sized up Forrest’s face. Freya looked attractive with prominent features, so did her
brother. However, the biggest difference between them was that Forrest’s skin tone was tanner.

When Shaun thought about it, he noticed that Catherine had always been surrounded by good- looking
men.

“President Lynch, have you known Cathy for a long time?” Shaun asked.

“We’ve known each other for more than ten years. She and Freya are good friends, so she would come
here a lot and eat with us back then.” Forrest had grasped Shaun’s point in a second. “But she already
had a boyfriend at that time. She treats me just like a brother, and I, too, treat her like a sister.”

Shaun immediately understood it as well.

“What’s on your mind? Catherine rolled her eyes. “ Can you not panic whenever you see a guy around
me?”

“I love you. That’s why I panic.” Shaun shrugged as a matter-of-factly.

“Good morning.”

Suddenly, the door of the bedroom on the ground floor opened. A puffy-eyed Rodney stretched his
body and walked out. The moment he caught sight of Shaun in the living room, he was so shocked that
he flinched. “Damn, Shaun. Did you actually take an overnight flight here?”



Shaun looked at him coldly, while Catherine said with a mirthless smile, “Young Master Snow, you’re
really good at telling on me, huh?”

“When did I tell on you?” An innocent look washed over Rodney’s face. “I just told Shaun that a young
guy had supper with us last night, that the guy is quite good-looking, and that we look older compared
to him…”

“You’re the one who’s old. Don’ t compare me to you, ” Shaun said nonchalantly.

“Tsk, Shaun, that’s too much. I’m your buddy.” Rodney snorted. “That pretty boy last night definitely
liked your girlfriend. I was the one who told him that Catherine has a boyfriend and children. Only then
did he give up.”

“Cathy, stay away from that pretty boy if you see him next time. Don’t let him approach you.” Shaun
reminded her with a frown. “Don’t forget about what happened with Wesley.”



“Oh.” Their words made Catherine feel uneasy.

Somehow, she felt a great sense of familiarity in Matthew. Yesterday may only be their first time seeing
each other, but seeing him smile really gave her the urge to look after him like he was her little brother.

Nevertheless, she did not dare to let Shaun know about this, or he would be extremely jealous.

Moreover, she probably would not see Matthew anymore.

At 9:00 a.m., Freya came downstairs lazily. She was also taken aback the second she saw Shaun.

Catherine said impassively, “Your husband told Shaun that we had supper with a handsome young guy
last night.”



Freya instantly took in the scene. Then, she glared at Rodney fiercely. “You and your big mouth. Why
are you such a busybody? Don’t you dare think of joining us the next time we go out for supper.”

“Shaun…” Rodney looked at Shaun for help.

Shaun could not be bothered about him at first. However, considering that Rodney reported the matter
to him last night and even helped him get rid of his love rival, he spoke up. “Miss Lynch, Rodney is my
buddy. He hopes that Cathy and I have a stable relationship. He only told me to prevent any guys from
swooping in on us. On the other hand, your behavior tells me that you’re trying to coax Cathy into
looking for the handsome young guy. Let me remind you that you can go ahead and look for one, but
Cathy can’t.”

Rodney felt aggrieved. How ungrateful of Shaun. What did he mean by Freya could do it? In that case,
Rodney would be cuckolded.

“Did you see me coaxing Cathy into looking for the handsome young guy?” Freya snorted and said, “
It’s true that Cathy is in a relationship with you, but you can’t keep her from appreciating handsome
young guys. What’s more, can’t she make friends with someone of the opposite s*x?”

Shaun’s brows sank. “If those guys have an ulterior motive, I won’t be able to accept it.”

“You seem to think that every man who approaches Cathy has an ulterior motive.” Freya grinned and
raised her brows at Catherine.

Catherine rubbed her forehead. “Alright. Stop arguing. Shaun, I think you should trust me.”

“Cathy, are you taking her side?” Shaun felt as though his heart had shattered.
